Prunella Scales and Patricia Routledge star in the second popular BBC Radio 4 series. After meeting at Irene's daughter Lesley's wedding reception, Irene Spencer and Vera Small become firm - sometimes too firm - friends, and so began their extraordinary correspondence. Here we find Vera installed at Far Shores Trailer Park and Irene living the "high" life Down Under. In their letters they share all the twists and turns of life's rich tapestry in true acerbic and forthright form - swapping family stories and subtle put-downs with ease and aplomb.
